McEnroe rules out 'Strictly', 'Dancing'

Tennis star John McEnroe has ruled out ever appearing on Strictly Come Dancing or Dancing With The Stars.

The 51-year-old former World number one was asked whether he would consider taking part in the US and UK ballroom dance reality shows during a Q&A session on BBC 5 Live yesterday.

Laughing at the prospect, he said: "That's where I draw the line... I don't want to make a fool out of myself. I do that enough already."

Former Wimbledon champion Martina Hingis took part in Strictly last year, but exited in week one.

Celebrities tipped to take part in the BBC One series this autumn include soap stars Tiana Benjamin, Charlie Clements, Rob Kazinsky and Carley Stenson, actress Patsy Kensit and veteran Conservative politician Ann Widdecombe.
